Yep when you work for yourself you can take as many breaks as you want and when you want.  For years I had to follow a schedule that dictated almost every day of my career.  To deviate from it brought problems for not only me but my co-workers as well.  So I did my best to hold to the times that had been set for me.  But now I can stop when I want, clean up when I want, and visit when I want. 

This morning the bedroom, living, and dining room are now vacuumed.  The bathroom and utility room are prepped for mopping.  The bird cages have been cleaned and the covers are now in the washer along with second load of clothes,  The first load is in the dryer and If the energy holds out I will add the kitchen floor to the mix. Not put it in the washer but mop it!!! If not tomorrow morning early it will be done.  Yes we are having company this weekend.  That means get out the coal shovel and the garbage can and make every thing nice again.  Well not quite that bad but at my age it seems that way. 

Yesterday I got the new tires on the pick up, went to the doctors and did a bit of shopping.  The tires have taken a big worry off my shoulders.  I can’t change a tire anymore—can’t lift the good one high enough off the ground to mount it on the lugs.  Now I should be able to drive anywhere without worrying about it. 

The doctor said the foot looked good.  No sign of infection or weeping so I can stop bandaging it.  He also said to get off the blood pressure pills.  He feels that once the worry about the infection and also the swelling in my leg are gone my blood pressure will return to normal.  Of course I am to see him in a month for a recheck.

Well my Carpenter C D has started playing over and the vacuum cleaner needs to be emptied and put away. I’ll get the table and chairs back in place and possibly start the mopping.  BUT FIRST ( there it is again) I see my outside birds need suet, thistle, and seed so I’ll get that done first.  A look at the clock says I’m moving right along—Not the speed of light but a satisfactory pace for me. 

I have to add that Brandy is waiting expectantly on the end of the sofa fot me to put the dog bed full of toys back down on the floor. 

Golly I love working for me even if I don’t get a paycheck!!.
